Discussion

Horde XSS Filter Cross Site Scripting Vulnerability

Horde is prone to a cross-site scripting vulnerability because it fails to properly sanitize user-supplied input.

An attacker may leverage this issue to execute arbitrary script code in the browser of an unsuspecting user in the context of the affected site. This may let the attacker steal cookie-based authentication credentials and launch other attacks.

Note that this issue also affects Turba on Horde IMP.

Versions prior to Horde 3.2.3 and 3.3.1 are vulnerable.
